Effective Jan 1, 2013, we are pleased to announce that John Goldi, for many years the Director of Research and Collections, for the Canadian Anglo-Boer War Museum will become the Museum's first Honorary Curator Emeritus.

(FYI - On Jan. 28, 2009, a much belated dozen years later, the Toronto Star, Canada's biggest newspaper, pomposited grandly, that it had appointed Paul Watson, as the “world’s first multimedia journalist...” based on Paul, being a photographer, adding personal photos to his stories.

It's typical gush of what the mainstream media specializes in: taking fiction and creating journalism, which they publish as "all the news you need to know." No wonder the world is in such a descending spiral...

In early Feb 2016, Paul Watson - a man of principle rare to find in the mainstream media - quit his post at the Toronto Star, citing editorial interference in killing a key story Watson had long researched for the Star and deemed important for the health of Canadian democracy.

With Haroon Siddiqui retired from the Star, there is now no more reason to buy a newspaper whose editorial board openly supported the race war against the Muslims promoted by Harper (openly), Trudeau (furtively) and their corporate cronies. No other Canadian "voice" let alone journalist, even came close to touching Siddiqui for personal and professional integrity and being a highly principled and researched voice advocating reason and humanity in the public life of Canada. Canada - no the world - is a much poorer place with his passing from the scene...

You are listening to one of Canada's very earliest recordings from 1900, featuring one of Canada's very first recording artists, Harry Macdonough (left), singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," a sentiment shared by Canadians as they saw their boys off at the dock, and later, as they remembered those - like Lt. Harold Borden of Canning, Nova Scotia - who never came back.

Some 40 of these early recordings are featured on almost every page.

Many of these earliest Canadian recordings are used throughout
our television program's sound track. Details on our Music Page

The War balloon: The British Army had four war balloon units in South Africa. Two observers were sent aloft on a tethered balloon to scout for the enemy ahead of the marching army, or to direct artillery fire during a battle. They dropped their information down in weighted envelopes. (Details on our Tech of War Page). To find out how many were shot down in flames, and the tragedies that occurred when generals refused to use them, watch our television program.
